This issue’s topic is sleep. We thought this would be a perfect topic as we have the dreaded time change tomorrow, within the same week of the Expo. Most of us focus on workouts, nutrition and hustle, but we’re quick to leave out the most powerful recovery tool we have: high-quality rest.
In this issue you’ll learn why sleep matters so much, how it ties into functional health and performance, and how you can upgrade your rest to improve every area of your life!
Let’s dive in.
Sleep: Your Secret Recovery Weapon
Why Sleep Matters
Getting enough restful sleep is foundational for cognitive performance, mood regulation, cardiovascular and metabolic health. Research shows insufficient sleep is linked to impaired decision-making, slower reaction time, and increased health risks.
From a functional health perspective, sleep is when your body repairs tissue, balances hormones (like growth hormone and cortisol), resets your immune system and flushes metabolic waste.
In short: neglecting sleep isn’t just about feeling tired — it dramatically limits your recovery, performance and long-term wellness.
Common Barriers
Skipping consistent bedtimes or cutting your sleep short (many adults regularly sleep under 7 hours).
Light exposure late at night, high screen time, caffeine too late in the day.
Stress, hormonal imbalance, and lifestyle mis-alignment (e.g., shift work, irregular schedules).
Poor “sleep environment” — temperature, noise, light, bedding quality all play a role.
Actionable Tips To Upgrade Your Sleep
Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep per night (for most adults) and stick to a consistent sleep–wake schedule.
Create a bedtime ritual: dim lights ~60 minutes before bed, avoid screens, do a short breathing exercise or meditation.
Optimize your environment: cooler room (~65°F/18°C), blackout curtains, comfortable mattress/pillows, minimal noise.
Limit stimulants: caffeine off by early afternoon, reduce large meals or heavy workouts right before bed.
Support recovery: Consider adding a magnesium glycinate supplement (with medical guidance), or use a red-light therapy session for better recovery and restful sleep.
Track and adjust: Use a sleep diary or tracker for 2–3 weeks to identify patterns (bedtime, wake time, wake after sleep onset). If you regularly sleep <7 h or wake unrefreshed, schedule a check-in with a qualified practitioner.
